Three Charming Black Boys

Alternative title: Step Dance Song

Nothing can be traced regarding the origins of this song. The first rather non-PC verse seems to come from the black and white minstrel tradition, whilst the second may be from a completely different song. Be that as it may, Harry was obviously taken with the reference to “tap dancing” and proceeded to do a step dance after each verse. The Brazil family were renowned step dancers. If only there had been a video camera there at the time!
